Diarios (Spanish, Paperback)

Written during the last eight months of his life, these diaries are an unfiltered narration of the life of Joe Orton, the extremely successful and famous British playwright. On August 9, 1967, Orton was murdered in London by Kenneth Halliwell, his lover of 16 years, who bludgeoned him with a hammer and then immediately committed suicide. Halliwell left a note that said that all would be explained if the police read Orton's diaries. In the diaries, Orton narrates his literary success, his sexual escapades--at his mother's funeral, with a dwarf in Brighton, and, extensively, in Tangiers--and the breakdown of his "marriage" to Halliwell, the relationship that transformed his life and ultimately ended it. "Escritos durante los ultimos ocho meses de su vida, estos diarios son una narracion sin restriccion alguna de la vida de Joe Orton, el sumamente exitoso y famoso dramaturgo ingles. El 9 de agosto de 1967, en Londres, Orton fue asesinado a martillazos por Kenneth Halliwell, su amante de 16 anos, quien se suicido inmediatamente despues. Halliwell dejo una nota que decia que todo quedaria explicado cuando la policia leyera los diarios de Orton. En los diarios, Orton narra su exito literario, sus aventuras sexuales--en el funeral de su madre, con un enano en Brighton y, profusamente, en Tanger--y la descomposicion de su "matrimonio" a Halliwell, la relacion que le cambio la vida y que termino por destruirla."
